One word describes Britany's nursing skills and demeanor- incredible. When I came to the ICU I was on life support as a result of bleeding out from an endoscopy. This nurse and the ICU team went to work on me. After two blood transfusions, also hooked up to breathing tube, she relentlessly rendered care to bring me back from the mess I was in. She encouraged me emotionally and went about her tasks with a high level of professionalism. Yes, that even included challenging daily walks, which at the level of army training she would be able to "crack the whip" at troops in training. Banner Churchill Hospital is truly fortunate to have employees like Britany.
